How the Survivor! Were Sighted by
Passing Vessel, and Rescued
From Their Peril.
Philadelphia, Pa., November 28. A
dispatch from Lewis. Del., says: The
three-maoted schooner Helen L. Angel,
from Georgetown, S. C, for Baltimore,
brought Into port yesterday Pilot Marshal
Bertrand and Alfred Twanson, a Nor
wegiaa, two .of the three men who on
Monday moraine left the pilot boat
Turley In a skiff, for the purpose of
putting Thomas Marshall, another pilot,
on board the steamship Pennsylvania,
which was bound for Philadelphia. They
succeeded la performing this duty and
started back to regain the Turley. The
weather was very rough, and they never
reached their vessel. It was supposed
they were lost. Several pilot boats were
sent In search of them, and one cruised
800 miles off the coast without finding
them. Bertrand tells the following nor
rible story
Soon after leaving the Pennsylvania
they found that In the darkness they bad
lost their bearings. Ihey Had no com
pass on board, and not one of the Dcla
ware lights was visible. Their frail boat
became unmanageable, and the wind and
sea rose higher every moment. Yt ben day
light broke they were drifting rapidly to
sea before a strong northwest gale, and
ttu-n abandoned all hope except that they
might be carried within sight of some
vessel. This was but a forlorn chance,
as Bertrand knew that only by some lucky
accident would their craft, which most of
the time was in the hollow of the seas, be
sighted from tbe deck of any vessel. All
they could do was to keep her as much as
possible before the wind.
The weather was bitterly cold, and they
had left the Turley in such haste that they
bad failed to take their thicker clothing
or to throw In any water and provisions. I
Soon the spray froze upon their oilskins,
aud their stiffened muscles refused to do
their duty. One man attended the helm,
while the others attempted to keep the
Lust from swamping by constant bailing. 1
All Monday, .Monday night and Tues
day they drifted aimlessly about, suffer-
liii: the extremes of hunger, thirst and
cold. Toward dusk on Tuesday evening,
both the Norwegians became delirious,
and before Bertrand could control them,
they lost oar and everything else that
wa loose In the boat.
Thus left without means of handling
the skiff Bertrand can hardly explain bow
it escaped from filling or capsizing. He
says tnat he occasionally sank Into a
Stupor la which the raving of his ship
maU'fl, the roar of the wind, and the lash
ing of waves, were curiously mingled
In whatever remained with him of con-
sciousness.
He supposes that it wasabrnt midnight
of Tuesday when one of Tbe Norwegians,
whose name neither himself nor Swansen
knew, drew his sailors' knife from its
sheath and made several plunges at him,
declaring that he would kill hlra and
drink bis blood. The deranged man was
too feeble to carry out his intention. Lx
ha us ted by his long fast, and clad I" bis
icy garments as In a coat of mail tell
shrieking and gasping across the thwarts
at Bertraud's feet, and In a few minutes
he was dead.
The clouds had passed away; the moon
had risen, and its beams fell upon the
colored features of tbe dead sailor, upon
whose face the freezing spray quickly
formed a film of ice.
To add to the peril of the remaining
men, tho boat shipped a great deal of
water. The bailer was among the things
that the crazy men had thrown overboard,
nd Bertrand was forced to take off one
of his rubber-boots to use in its place.
Thus he freed the boat from water, but
his unprotected foot was frozen. Swan
son was so near death as to be Incapable
of rendering any assistance, and except
when be was raving be lay like a log.
When the sun rose on Wednesday morn
tug Bertrand eagerly scanned the horl
ton in search of a sail, but saw nothing.
As bis glance fell upon tbe corpse of tho
dead sailor, It occurred to him that It
might bo tbe means of prolonging life un
til rescue came. Horrible as the Idea of
cannibalism was to him, he realized that
nothing else remained between them and
death, lie roused Swanson, and was
happy to discover that his mind had
comparatively cleared aud that he under
stood what was said to him.
The cold had not abated, but tho sea
had gone down, and tho day was bright.

uenrauu auew " tuuy couiu seep nine
untU nightfall, they would In all llkell-
nooa do picaeu up, as uey couiu not ue
out of tho path of the coasting vessels.
Then came the supreme moment. Ber
trand Indicated to Swanson what he pro-
Cised to do, and the latter agreed with
m. With the small remnaii? of strength
kit them they tore the stiffened oilskins
and tho underclothing from tho dead man,
nd left a portion of the body exposed.
Into his breast and shoulder they plunged
their knives, and eugorly sucked tho
blood from the wounds. They Immedi
ately felt refreshed, and tho tortures
which they had experienced were allayed.
Fauslng for a moment In their work, they
returned to it, and cut strips of flesh
from tbe corpse.
Kach devoured a little, though Bertram!
snys It was with a loathing which only tho
conviction of self-preservation couitl cn
able him to conquer.
They then laid back under tho gun
wales of their craft, occasionally raising
their heads to scan the waters for a sail.
They were scarcely conscious of the pas
sago of time) but when the sun went
down, Bertrand saw passing Its disk a'
teasel not more than a mllo distant and
heading almost directly toward them.
Tho welcome vision animated him, and
springing to his feet with some vigor bo
stretched himself to his full height In the
stum-sheets, and drawing off his oilskin
ooat, swung It high abovo bis head.
Just at this moment fortune aided
hlmt the boat mounting high upon the
crest of a long roller, so that It was
thrown Into full view of the lookout ou
the veauel. For a moment she held net
, course, and ho feared that In the fading
Hunt the were not aeon. A moment
around before tho wind and headed
straight toward them.
Tho rescuing vessel proved to be tho
Helen L. Angel, which In the storm had
missed making the capes of tho Chesa
peake. As she ueared tho castaways mio
launched a boat, and by six o'clock Wed
nesduy evening they were comfortably
resting In her cabin aud comforted with
food and drink.
For sixty hours these men hud nothing
but salt water and the fl tU and blood of
their shipmate. The sceu of the reseiio
was eighty-tlve miles southeast of the
Five Fathom Light Ship, so that In the
three days and two nights which had
elapsed since tb..-y put off from tho Tur
ley they had diiltcd around in that nar
row space.
Just before the Angel bore down on
them, they threw overboard the body f
the dead man.
Tbe AnL-el arrived at the breakwater at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
Bertrand was put ashore. He is In good
condition, with theexceptiou of his frozen
feet. Swanson was sent to the Turley,
and la reported as doing well. It is said
that a bark passed the lost men's boat on
Tuesday, and that, notwithstanding their
hailing and signals, she paid no attention
to them.
THK COMl.NU CAKU1NAL.
ArohbUhop Feehan, of Chicago, Likely
to be McCloakey'i Successor.
New York, November L'8. Tho l'len
ary Council which is now in session in
Baltimore will probably receive from tho
Tope, before it closes, the name of the
Archbishop who will succeed Cardinal
McCloskey, as Cardinal. Catholics all
over the country are deeply Interested In
the matter, and the statement of one of
tbe clergyman who is attending tbe Council
that Archcishop Feehan, of Chicago, would
probably be appointed, has given rise to
much discussion. A New Voik Catholic
layman, who Is thoroughly versed lu the
affairs of tho church, suld yesterday:
'The United Stales has always been
looked upon as a missionary country,
and affairs of the Catholic Church here
are wholly In tho hands of the. Pope
and his Cabinet. The title of Cardinal
here Is more of an honorary appellation
than anything else, for a Cardiuel has no
more power than an Archbishop, except
that he forms oue of the Pope's Cabinet,
and can vote for a Pope when necessary.
The title is usually bestowed upon the
Archbishop whose diocese Is the largest,
and whose work h.is been most Import
ant aud proline. The Catholics in this
couutry number now, I believe, j
MOItK THAN 8,0ilM,ll0O, '
and almost every Bishop we have is
worthy of all honor that ean be bestowed
upon him. Archbishop liibbons of Haiti
more has been iiieutiom d as likely to be
made a Cardinal. The See of Baltimore
was tho tlrt Archbishopric In tins
couutry, aud therefore Archbishop tiili
bons Is called the Primate of tho I'niied
States. Archbishop Feehan, I think,
is likely to receive the appoint
ment. He has done a great work in the
West and Northwest. He is an older man
than Archbishop Gibbous, and although
the latter is an accomplished gentleman,
bis opportunities have heeu restricted as
compared with those of Aichiilshop Fee
han." "How about Archbishop Corrlgan, tho
coadjutor archbishop?"

Middletowx, N. Y., November 23.
The Middlotown National Bank closed Its
doors this morning. Tho failure was
caused by President Thomas King, who
accepted a largo draft from Benjamin D.
Brown, a grain dealer of Indianapolis
and Burlington, without security. Brown
has made an assignment. This bank has
a capital of $200,000, and a surplus fund
of J115.000. The extent of tho loss is
not yet known. King takes all the blame
on himself. His recent advances were
made without the knowledge of tho other
